What is Triple Snakes?

Triple Snakes is a dice drinking game where players race to score exactly 100 points using 4 green dice and a black die for the Straight Rule.

How many players can play Triple Snakes?

Triple Snakes works best with 2 to 12 players. One phone keeps score for the whole table.

What dice do you need to play?

Four green six-sided dice and one black six-sided die. The black die is only used for the Straight Rule. The official Triple Snakes set ships with all five.

How do you score Triple Snakes (three 1s)?

Rolling three 1s gives you a choice: take 3 points, or tie the current leader's score. Everyone drinks. It's especially powerful on a rebuttal to tie the player who just hit 100.

What happens if you go over 100?

Busting over 100 drops your score to 77 and you drink. You keep playing from 77.

What are snake eyes in Triple Snakes?

Two 1s on any roll during your turn ends the turn at 0 points. You drink.

How does the Straight Rule work?

If your first roll of the turn is a straight (1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, or 3-4-5-6), you may roll the black die up to 2 times to complete the straight. Success scores 34 or 35 points (your choice) and everyone drinks. Fail scores 0.

What is a Double-Double?

Two pairs in your final roll. The score is the sum of both pairs — for example, two 5s and two 3s = 16.

What is the rebuttal round?

When a player hits exactly 100, every other player gets one final turn to tie at 100 or improve their placement before the game ends. Last place at game end takes a shot.

Where can I buy the official Triple Snakes set?

HOW TO PLAY

The dice-rolling drinking game that requires absolutely no skill.

LEARN BY PLAYING

Skip the wall of text — start a guided round and we'll walk you through every rule as it comes up.

OBJECTIVE

Score exactly 100 points over multiple turns. The first player to hit 100 triggers a rebuttal — every other player gets one last turn to tie at 100 (or improve their placement). If no one ties, the player who hit 100 wins.

EACH TURN

Roll all 4 green dice up to 3 times.
After each roll, you may keep one set of matching dice (a pair OR three of a kind), keep a single un-matched die, or pick up everything and reroll.
You may not split up a matched group.
After your 3rd roll, your score is locked in.
If at any point during your three rolls you match all four dice, your turn is over and you select the bonus or math result of the four-of-a-kind.

SCORING (FINAL ROLL)

Pair: face × 2 · Three of a kind: face × 3
Triple Snakes (three 1s) — choose 3 points OR tie the current leader's score. Everyone drinks. (Handy on a rebuttal to tie the player who just hit 100.)
Double-Double (two pairs) = sum of both pairs
No matches → 0 points

SNAKE EYES

Two 1s on any roll ends your turn at 0 points. Drink.

FOUR OF A KIND

Ends turn (everyone drinks). Choose the result that puts you in the best position to win:

Face	Bonus	Math
	30	4
	28	8
	27	12
	26	16
	25	20
	24	24

STRAIGHT RULE (1ST ROLL ONLY)

Roll a straight on your first roll? Use the black die (the 5th die) to try to complete it. You always get 2 tries to complete the straight:

1-2-3-4 → need a 5
3-4-5-6 → need a 2
2-3-4-5 → need a 1 or 6

Success → choose 34 or 35 points (social drink — everyone drinks). Fail → 0. Rolling another 1 during a straight attempt = snake eyes.

WINNING & THE REBUTTAL

Hit exactly 100 to win. Going over = BUST → 77 points, drink. When someone hits 100, all other players get one final rebuttal turn to tie or improve placement. Last place takes a shot.

DRINKING RULES

Net 0 points → drink
Triple Snakes, 4-of-a-kind, or completed Straight → social (everyone drinks)
Bust over 100 → drink
Dice off the table → drink per die lost
All players net 0 on consecutive turns in the same round → group shotguns a beer (or takes a shot)
Last place at game end → takes a shot
After round 3: end-of-turn ties = both drink; lead changes = non-leaders drink (leader may join)
